Brenda Carol Yancey-Napier of Seven Mile, passed away peacefully at Glen Meadows in Hamilton. She was born to Earl and Opal (Strunk) Yancey of Hazard, Kentucky, and was a proud graduate of Seven Mile High School. Brenda later retired after a life filled with hard work, family, and love. Brenda was a woman who loved hard. Her heart was always open, and family was at the center of everything she did. She loved Jesus deeply and found great joy in caring for and raising babies. She had a special way of making the people around her feel loved, cared for, and at home. Brenda also had a love for the beach and Florida. Some of her happiest memories were made in the sunshine, surrounded by the people she loved. Those memories, especially the ones made together in Florida, will be treasured by her family forever. Brenda is survived by her sister, Karen (Dave) Tillett; step-daughter, Melissa Napier; grandchildren, Elizabeth Clemmons, Vicki Wright, Jillian (Seth) Baker, John Helton, Jerry Lee (Gracie) Helton, Jackson Helton, Todd Scott, James Scott, Joseph Scott, Amber Brainard, Brittany Hester, and Jeremy Clemmons; and great-grandchildren, Connor, Ethan, Kylie, Ezekiel, Asher, Adley, Kinsley, and Kurtis. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including Josh (Michelle) Yancey, Jennifer (Keith) Bowling, David (Jennifer) Tillett, Michael (Christy) Tillett, Shannon Yancey, Brett (Patti) Yancey, Brian (Kristen) Yancey, and Tina Perry; along with many other family members and loved ones who were blessed to know her. Brenda was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael Napier; daughter, Christa Clemmons; sons, Tim Clemmons and James Clemmons; very beloved niece and nephew, Nicole and Jessi Vollet; sister, Earlene (Bob) Stacy; brothers, Ronnie (Vicki) Yancey and Fred (Gladys) Yancey; and niece, Kimberly Hendrix. Though her absence leaves an ache that words cannot describe, her family finds comfort knowing that Brenda is no longer suffering and has crossed the banks of Jordan, where she is reunited with the ones she loved and, most importantly, is in the presence of her Savior. Her family will carry her love, her strength, her memories, and the lessons she taught them for generations to come. A Visitation will be held from 11am until 12pm on Friday, October 16, 2026 at Christ Church of New Miami, 104 Highland Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio 45011. A Service will begin at 12pm on Friday at the church with Pastor Earl Baker officiating. Condolences may be left for the family at www.Webb-Noonan.com
